Votare o non votare
La responsabilità della fine della democrazia non è da imputare alla anemia partecipativa del cittadino, ma all’aumento generalizzato delle diseguaglianze sociali in quanto il ceto ricco ha polarizzato la nuova ricchezza distruggendo la sicurezza di quella classe media che era il polmone della politica democratica: perché debbo partecipare, si chiede il cittadino sofferente, se i benefici saranno destinati ai soliti noti, ai privilegiati del sistema? Perché votare se a fronte di una crisi economica procurata dai potenti, a pagarne le spese sono i più deboli?

Why Does Adele Sarno Matter?
Ms. Sarno is the embodiment of the soul of New York. She is part of our heritage as a city of immigrants. Yet she is facing eviction by her landlord, the Italian American Museum, because their development plans and the law support a quadrupling of her rent from $820 to $3500/month. Any plan to quadruple residential rent, as is being sought in Ms. Sarno’s case, is both onerous and exploitative. It is essentially a heavy financial penalty placed on a vulnerable citizen with a fixed income in order to both intimidate and then likely evict in the interest of commercial development.
